Macgill These remarks honor the memory of Hugh C. Macgill, Professor of Law from 1971 to 1990; 2000 to 2014, and Dean of the University of Connecticut School of Law from 1990 to 2000. k0l RICHARD D.

I was the product of public schools, not the kind of private schools to which Virginia gentlemen were sent. Hugh was patrician and regal when the occasion required it, but as Kent Newmyer captures it, he was also a man of the people.2 Hugh commanded an extraordinary use of the language, with intellect, irony, and wit (including his famous and tasteless limericks). He was comfortable in the past yet also a visionary, possessing an egalitarian elitism. We read about such persons in high school literature courses I See infra pp. 9. 2 See infra pp. 10-11. 1
